... of these ships present fishtailing phenomenon, which gets worse when we increase the dimensions of the ships. In order to model the behavior of these anchored tankers, the computer code Wamit was employed in the frequency domain, and through the use of impulse response functions, we accessed the ships behavior...

... Abstract Due to the increasing interest in the last years in cost effective and easy to handle anchoring solutions for floating offshore structures, a series of model tests with so-called Deep Penetrating Anchors (DPA™, Lieng [6]) has been conducted at the Norwegian Troll field. Prior...

... Abstract With the industry installing facilities in more complex locations, for example crowded seabed infrastructure, reliable installation data for drag embedment anchors is required. For this purpose a real time anchor data measuring system is being developed giving data on the key...

... Abstract The installation penetration of gravity-installed anchors is a critical factor in determining ultimate anchor capacity. Previous studies on installation penetration of gravity-installed anchors were limited to torpedo anchors and mostly focused on the geotechnical aspect. Recently...

... Abstract The use of FPSOs in the development of oil and gas fields in deep waters requires accessibility to safe and reliable off-take solutions. The Deep Water SAL (DW SAL) design moves the well proven Single Anchor Loading (SAL) concept to deep water applications. The SAL system has been...

... Abstract The deep and ultra deep water mooring locations typical for many Brazilian offshore developments require anchor points suitable for both horizontal and vertical loads. Traditionally most designers opt for the use of suctions piles, although in recent years a number floating production...
